Apart from pre-season form, we have very little to go on when trying to figure out what might happen in tonight’s Allianz League Division One opener between Dublin and Kerry. But we must begin somewhere.

Returning to the entrails of last September’s epic All-Ireland semi-final is pointless ahead of tonight’s match. Much more enlightening to cast our minds back two years to the opening round of NFL 2012 under lights in Croke Park.
